How Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) is performed
This procedure often uses a small incision through the pars plana approach, with a choice of different sizes of minimally invasive kits and internal tamponade materials. Usually, under a microscope, perfusion, illumination, and a vitreous cutter are placed to remove the opacities and traction in steps. If necessary, peripheral vitreous or peripheral retinal lesions are treated in combination, and gas or silicone oil is filled as appropriate. After completion, the wound is evaluated and moderately sutured. Early postoperative monitoring of intraocular pressure and inflammatory response aims to improve floaters and visual function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
